Awsome post. I have also been aware of the impact group energy can have. This can be good or bad. I have an unusual spiritual path and recently a spirit I work with (Ogun) talked about group energy. He pointed out that the powers of fear want us to feel alone. He pointed out that worldwide the energy of peace is not counted in the thousands or even millions, but in Billions. He said no one really wants war, sure some may use it for their own gain but no one really wants it. My point is that group energy can work for the good if individuals come together to promote, Love, Compassion, and Peace.
Thank you, I do agree that the majority of people want peace. The problem as I see it, is that those in the majority have no idea how the use the power they have to obtain peace. We live in a society that is control by mega corporations. These companies control most of the general population. They do it by controlling all the various industries of today. They also lobby the government to get what they what and crush what they don't.
I am an Anarchist, I do not want government or mega corporations controlling my life. I feel that I am more than capable of determining what is best for me and what is not.
You do bring up a great point though, if we can get the masses to turn from the corporate masters and be free independent thinkers then we could put down these rabid dogs we call governments and finally have peace. I think that the trick to doing this is to get people to first truly LOVE THEMSELVES as they are.
Anyway Thanks for sharing, lets keep the discussion going.
I am an anarchist as well. I think that like Ron Paul has often said, Freedom is popular. It is my opinion that as humans move towards a stateless society, as a planet we also naturally will move towards peace. Being intimately familiar with collective goals as used in magickal practice, I have seen this work in a small scale. Once we all voluntarily decide to cast aside the violence of the state we can as individuals evolve.
I agree, years ago I followed a more naturalist/wiccan ideology. I saw many things that opened my eyes to what was really in front of me. I came to realize that what we call civilization is far from civil and the only purpose as it is, is the transfer power and wealth away from the people. But as I see it, We are still trying to get to the one hundredth monkey, if you know what I mean. Once we hit that point then more and more people will wake up exponentially.
Whether that happens before it all comes crashing down is yet to be seen, me I will be happy either way as long as this current system we have ends. Then the people can take back power of their own lives.
Thanks for sharing , please feel free to continue.
